Belgian painter Jan Van Imschoot unveils Les Nocturnes des Bonnes Vivantes/Nightime Revels of Pleasure-Loving Women, a flamboyant and exhilarating new series dedicated to his personal pantheon of the great female figures of history.

Arranged like sequences from a film, the successive paintings with their black background portray familiar faces and more obscure characters: filmmaker Alice Guy, Madame de Pompadour, Camille Claudel, anarchist Louise Michel, Antwerp painter Michaelina Wautier and transvestite deserter Paul Grappe.
